Claim No 32. Edmund R. Butler
The Claimant in this case arrived at these Islands in
the year 1813 from Boston Mass.ts Shortly afterwards Ka-
mehameha [Kamehameha] 1st granted him a farm called Kawaiiki, near
Honolulu, Oahu, in the district of Kapalama. Afterwards
in the Year 1817, Kamehameha 1st further granted the Claim-
ant [Claimant] a district of land on the Island of Maui, situated
between the village of Lahaina and Lahainaluna called
Puou.
The Claimant seems by testimony to have continu-
ously [continuously] occupied these lands until this time, except some
portion of the second named land at Lahaina, which
was taken from him by the Donor, and conferred upon
the seminary at Lahainaluna. The first mentioned
land called Kawaiiki, was again assured to the Claimant
by his present Majesty in the year 1831.

pective [respective] cases: and We accordingly, confirm these lands
